What do you do? Where do you live?
I live in Athens, Georgia, and I play football for the University of Georgia … 2021 National Champions!
How Did your time at Perimeter School influencE who you are and what you do today?
I think that Perimeter School had a great influence on who I am today. First and foremost, Perimeter School taught me to love God. Secondly, Perimeter School helped me develop as a student.
Perimeter School’s small classroom environment let my teachers have personal connections with me, which allowed for my learning to get the attention it needed.
I also know the friendships I made at Perimeter School will last forever.

In what ways is the work you are doing now spiritually and culturally Significant?
Playing football for the University of Georgia is an amazing opportunity and responsibility. The platform that I have allows me to better my community as well as provide a positive influence on others.
This summer, let’s prioritize time to enjoy the beauty of God’s creation and the grandeur of the Living Word.

Being able to use language freely in this way will help students to gain new perspectives on life and ordinary experiences and reflect the God-given gift of creativity.
My teachers didn’t only care about what I learned, they cared about who I was as a child of God.
Jesus is the Resurrection from the brokenness surrounding us and within us and the Life that meets our needs, wants, and desires more than anything this world offers.

Reading, more than any other educational practice, impacts our ability to learn, understand, think, apply, and lead.
